MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE

Competition in the medical device manufacturing field is increasing. Source One can help you stay above the rest.

Thoroughly analyzing your spend and supply base can yield many cost-cutting options.

Our market intelligence of the complexity of this industry enables us to help you with securing cost-saving relationships with suppliers.

NEARSHORE SOURCING

Source One is experienced in nearshore sourcing: a different, closer, and more efficient form of offshoring.

U.S. companies often outsource to nations overseas when the option is available, because this tends to yield lower costs. Source One knows that companies prefer to use this option, but we also know an even simpler solution that provides the same cost-saving benefits plus operational benefits, as well – nearshore sourcing. We have the right experience with Mexican and Latin American suppliers for your sourcing initiative.
